“Sixth Uncle, these are the secrets of the family’s rise, and everything is kept confidential.” Wang Shouzhe temporarily gave up his plan to popularize lures with him, and said seriously.
“I understand. I will be extra careful in doing all this, and I will also ask the family to allocate two generals to me.” Wang Dinghai was so excited that he trembled all over. “Besides, I have some ideas about moving the kite. Use it. Casting a net can be quickly transformed and carried out in one go. Let’s try the effect first. If possible…”

His eyes were shining, and he couldn’t wait to experiment.
Dingpu Ferry to Rock Beach is Wang’s territory. Ordinary people will not and dare not approach the river bank. After all, the riverbanks are undeveloped and simply cleared, and there are all kinds of unintentional dangers.
The river section is winding and has many remote and hidden places. After being inspired by Wang Shouzhe, Wang Dinghai, who is familiar with the fishing industry, has come up with many plans and ideas.
After Wang Shouzhe agreed, Wang Dinghai took the boat all the way to a hidden small dock in the river section. Every small dock here is a secret stronghold that can be used for multiple purposes. The cunning rabbit also has three caves. Not to mention Wang’s fishing fleet.
There are also hidden wooden huts built next to the small pier, which are places to take a rest to avoid wind and waves. Wang Dinghai placed Wang Shouzhe and Gongsun Hui in this simple place, leaving Wang Goudan to serve them, and then left in a hurry.
“This is the first time I have seen Uncle Six so active.” Gongsun Hui said with emotion, “It seems that the fishing ideas you provided, Zhe’er, will be very effective.”
“It’s all based on ancient books. It can’t be accurate without actual combat. I hope it will be useful to the family.” Wang Shouzhe smiled lightly, and then said to Wang Goudan, “Goudan, can you grill fish?”
“Yes.” Wang Goudan nodded smartly, “Home, Master, I’m going to grill the fish right now.” After that, he ran out quickly.
When only Gongsun Hui and Wang Shouzhe were left, Gongsun Hui looked at Wang Shouzhe carefully until he felt a little hairy in his heart before sighing: “Zhe’er, you have changed, you have become free and uninhibited. You are very confident. In the past, when you shouldered heavy responsibilities, you only knew how to practice hard and didn’t care about other things. If my aunt hadn’t watched you grow up, I would really doubt that you had been replaced.”
“Auntie is joking. In the past, with my father supporting me, I could naturally ignore everything.” Wang Shouzhe said with a calm expression, “But now that my father has passed away, the family situation has become so bad. If I If you don’t cheer up, where will the Wang family go? Madam, let’s not talk about this for now. You have been working hard all the way, so take a rest first and look forward to Uncle Liu’s surprise later.”
Wang Shouzhe took control of the situation, took the initiative to end the topic, and took the lead to close his eyes and rest.
Half an hour later, Wang Goudan got back some golden grilled fish, which smelled delicious. Wang Shouzhe took out two large copper coins and threw them away: “I’ll reward you with them outside.”
“Thank you, Master, thank you, Master.” Wang Goudan ran out happily.
The grilled fish and Gongsun Hui were eaten separately. Although the cooking method of the dog eggs was average, they were sprinkled with a little coarse salt, but the ingredients were fresh and high-quality. Wang Shouzhe was full of praise after eating them.
Gongsun Hui also ate such rough food for the first time. After a few bites, his beautiful eyes flashed, and it seemed to suit his taste.
After finishing several grilled fish, Wang Dinghai’s excited shout came from outside: “Shouzhe, Fifth Sister-in-law, come out and take a look.”
Wang Shouzhe and the two went out after hearing the sound, and when they arrived at the small pier, they saw that Wang Dinghai had already set up a simple kite as planned. Good guy, that move made Wang Shouzhe’s brows jump. The four poles were made of logs as thick as an arm, and the main pole was even thicker than his thigh.
This thing is too bulky, probably weighing two to three hundred kilograms, and people on earth will definitely not be able to use it.
I saw Wang Dinghai standing on the wooden pier. He only used his waist and horse as one. He used a little force to pull the cable, and he easily pried the heavy kite out of the water.
Haha, I forgot that that guy is a Xuanwu practitioner at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm. His strength is more than ten times greater than that of an ordinary earthling.
“Boom!”
A big fish was caught in the kite net. The big fish made a sudden wave of water but was blocked by the net. Before it could react in the second wave, it was pulled out of the water and lay on the net. The central government is at the mercy of others. In addition, there are several small fish weighing one to two or three pounds lying quietly next to it.
“Okay!”
The surrounding fishermen cheered excitedly and used simple fishing rods to grab the catch. Although it was a worthless red carp, it weighed six or seven kilograms and could be sold for dozens of cents. It also proved the effectiveness of moving the kite.
Subsequently, under Wang Shouzhe’s personal guidance, Wang Dinghai further improved the kite moving and installed inverted poles, counterweights and other items.
The principle is very simple, it is a seesaw on the earth. However, this seesaw is a triangle, and the two tops are connected with a cable. A suitable counterweight is placed on the other end of the seesaw. By gently applying pressure, the kite and mesh at the other end can be lifted out of the water in the form of a seesaw.
This time, another two hours passed, and it was already dark before everything was done, but everyone’s enthusiasm was very high. It only takes half a stick of incense to raise the net once, and it’s effortless.
Of course, it is impossible to avoid an empty network. However, it was already dark at this point, and many fish began to quietly approach the shore under the cover of night, looking for food along the shore. There was far more food on the shore than in the center of the river.
“Boom!” “Crash!”
After several empty nets, there would always be a pop, a big fish or something. Occasionally there will be one net, two lines, three lines or something. This excited the fishermen and Wang Dinghai.
“Shou Zhe, I’m getting rich. I’m getting rich.” Wang Dinghai, who was holding a torch, reported ecstatically, “I set up 30 nets in an hour just now, and I caught five of them, and caught nine big fish, and the small and medium-sized fish caught nothing.
In just one hour, more than a hundred kilograms of fish were caught, with a total value of about ten large coppers. ”
Such a terrible harvest made Wang Shouzhe a little confused. After all, this is the Xuanwu World, and its resources are much better than those on Earth. However, Wang Dinghai later said that it is now the peak fish season, and the night is the best time for fishing, so it is reasonable to get such a harvest.
“This thing is much more powerful than casting a net.” Wang Dinghai said excitedly, “Casting a net can also catch a lot of fish, but a fisherman with strong physical strength can cast at most a hundred nets in a day and lose his strength. But this new tool does not require much physical effort or technology. Two fishermen can be arranged to work in turns around the clock, and it is relatively safe. After all, the river bank is much less dangerous than the center of the river.”
“Yes, but you have also overlooked one advantage, which is replicability.” Wang Shouzhe also said in a good mood, “Uncle Six, you can find some skilled craftsmen from the family tomorrow to carve such a simple thing. Carve it out, and then gradually roll it out, taking advantage of this year’s fish season to make more money.”
“The most important thing is to keep it secret.” Gongsun Hui added from the side, “Uncle Six, you cannot blindly expand your manpower. Try to find some reliable helpers from the side clansmen.”
Everyone added one word at a time.
Suddenly!
There was a huge “boom” sound of water exploding.
Wang Goudan roared over there: “Haiye, come on, come on.”
The three of them looked at each other and saw a huge snake-like thing caught in the kite. Its explosive power was extremely fierce. Even if it was held down by two adult fishermen, the kite-moving frame was lifted out of the water. , already out of the water, it was still struggling wildly in the net bag, and the whole stand was shaken by the vibration.
“It’s the red-scaled eel!” Wang Dinghai looked ecstatic, but in the blink of an eye his expression changed sharply, “No, it’s going to break the net.”
I saw the red-scaled eel’s sharp teeth biting the mesh, its body twisting and turning wildly, and in an instant it tore a large hole in the fishing net, and it twisted along the gap to squeeze out.
Wang Dinghai jumped into the water without saying a word and swam towards the fishing net at very fast speed. Just when the red-scaled eel was about to get out of trouble, he stretched out his big hand and pinched its neck. With his right hand, he pulled out the water-dividing thorn from his waist and plunged it into its head, stirring it from side to side.
But even so, the red-scaled eel still entangled him and stirred it desperately. It was obviously extremely strong in vitality. It took another full stick of incense before the thing was dying.
Wang Dinghai dragged it ashore and spread it on the simple pier. The thing was more than two feet long, thicker than the thigh at the beginning, and its whole body was covered with red scales.
“First-order aquatic ferocious beast red-scaled eel, Uncle Six, this should be an adult red-scaled eel. Does it have to weigh a hundred kilograms?” Wang Shouzhe and Gongsun Hui were also watching curiously.
“Hahaha, more than that, this one weighs at least one hundred and fifty kilograms and is worth at least thirty-fifty gold.” Wang Dinghai sat on the ground and gasped, his eyes shining with excitement, “If this vicious thing… If you let it go into the water, your sixth uncle may not be able to handle it. But this red-scaled eel is full of treasures. Master, it’s all thanks to you today, hahaha~ I’ll take it to Dingpu Ferry tomorrow to show off.”
